More details to this question:
She was at the gas pump and got out carrying our 2 year old. One of the round plates flat with the concrete turned and she fell in the hole under the plate to mid shin. One of the plates they use for something to do with gas. She got a bunch of bruises and scrapes and the baby was pretty shaken up but wasn't hurt. My wife took the entire impact. Several witnesses and the store was made aware of the incident. She followed up at the hospital due to said injuries and aggravated conditions. We saw no point in filing a police report so my question is-what is our next step? Is it worth the trouble?

You should definitely alert Circle K to the situation if you have not already. Most commercial liability policies will have a Medical Payments provision that will pay for your medical expenses, up to a certain amount (usually $5,000.00) if you are injured on their premises. Beyond that, Circle K may have some additional liability if there was a dangerous condition on their property that they knew, or should have known, about. Depending on the severity of your wife's injuries, it may be worthwhile for you to pursue.
